Tiger Woods’ niece has won her first pro event at the Australian Ladies Masters.

Cheyenne Woods won by two shots with a closing 69 to earn a two-year exemption on the Ladies European Tour.

The 23-year-old said: “I’ve been pro for two years, and for the majority of it, people just think of me as Tiger Woods’ niece, so now I have a game of my own and I have a title now, a win, which is exciting.

"It’s nice now to say to people that I can play and I’m not just a name.

“Growing up with the last name of Woods, there’s a lot of expectations and pressure and spotlight on you but I always knew that I was able to win.”
